Abstract

Postural control evolves from an interaction of the individual with the environment and the task. It emerges from a complex interaction of neural and musculoskeletal system, together referred as the system of postural control. Research into balance and postural control has shifted and broadened over the past few decades. To date, only few reviews were performed with reference to balance. However, with regard to postural control, no such review has been done. Here, we present a critical review on normal postural control. Relevant literature search was performed through the electronic databases of PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, EMBASE, OvidSP and ScienceDirect until December 2010. Literatures available about postural control are limited and about basic its concepts in line with the current knowledge of literature is inconclusive.

Keywords: Balance; Critical Review; Control; Postural Sway; Stability.
